Wyrd Week

I haven't had a lot to say this week; I've been in a strange mood, almost alternate reality.  I believe I've started that turning inward that comes every year at this time, getting ready for my hibernation.  I spent a fair amount of time this week painting this moose and listening to Wuthering Heights on LibriVox.  I've been painting on alternative surfaces; this is a piece of wood veneer that I found in a cigar box.  I started with graphite, then gesso, colored pencils, and finally acrylics.  It's sealed with an acrylic varnish.  I really liked painting on this surface; I have to go dig through cigar boxes to find some more.
